Yep. Started XMMS and no sound. Changed the plug-in to alsa and it crashed (disappeared without a trace). Then went to arts and it plays, also with OSS plug-in. The sound wasn't working in noatun either. Card is Creative SoundBlaster Live! Value CT-4830 Digital out OEM, Altec Lansing speakers. I also have a ton of other things to complain about with the latest cooker (new hard drive install about 2 hours ago) but that's another topic for a bug report. As soon as I figure out what the hell is happening.
